00:00At the beginning.
00:04Childhood.
00:06This is when family dysfunction often makes its way known into our adult relationships.
00:14Lindy.
00:17Describe your childhood in one word.
00:20Cold.
00:24Less.
00:27Yeah.
00:28Describe your childhood in one word.
00:31Happy.
00:32Uh-huh.
00:34Happy.
00:35Okay.
00:36Now, Les, this session is what I like to call the check engine light is on.
00:43And we need to locate what needs service.
00:46But in order to start that repair, Les, we need to dig deep to diagnose it.
00:51Does that make sense?
00:53Sure.
00:53Dig.
00:54Dig deep.
00:55That's right.
00:56Yeah.
00:56Very good.
00:57So, digging deeper.
01:00Describe your childhood in one word.
01:02Joyful.
01:03Deeper.
01:04Idyllic.
01:05Deeper still.
01:06Les.
01:06Loving.
01:07Okay.
01:16I'm going to change tack.
01:18Lindy, from your perspective, how would you describe Les' childhood in one word?
01:23Delusional.
01:23What's that supposed to mean?
01:24It means your mother created a fantasy childhood for you.
01:27She qualified to make these psychological hypotheses?
01:31Hypotheses?
01:32It's not a hypothesis.
01:35Your mother told me.
01:37What?
01:38Nancy told me.
01:39She was protecting you from your hypercritical controlling father.
01:44She is misinterpreting my dad's tough love as critical.
01:47Was it Nancy who called it tough love?
01:49Yeah.
01:50It was.
01:51I believe her.
01:54Delusional.
02:04I mean, he has gone fucking mad.
02:10It just means he's been at it all night in this moving surgeon taping.
02:17Oh, look at that trap.
02:19It's ridiculous.
02:21Shrinks my laptop as bait.
02:23Get out of here.
02:28Hey, hey, hey.
02:29Yeah, sure.
02:30Maybe it's not his best work.
02:31But he's obviously worried about you.
02:35Uh, no.
02:36He is worried because he can't control me.
02:39Maybe control is his love language.
02:41Maybe that sucks, Richard.
02:43I mean, if he catches me, who knows what he'll lock me up in next.
02:47I can see from your point of view how that could suck.
02:49But look, we could easily outsmart that rudimentary trap and just obtain the laptop, send him a little email.
02:56We're not obtaining anything that defeats the purpose.
03:00No.
03:00Yeah, I know that.
03:01Wait, remind me.
03:02We are proving my independence.
03:04We.
03:04Me.
03:05I.
03:05I.
03:05Okay.
03:06I don't need a laptop.
03:08I have my phone.
03:09Got it.
03:10So.
03:11Let's just.
03:11Do you want a little help with that?
03:13I got it.
03:14Ugh.
03:18Whoever Terry is, he or she really wants to get a hold of you.
03:21Yeah, she's my first call.
03:23Your story.
03:25They published it.
03:26No.
03:27No.
03:28No.
03:28No.
03:30Oh, God.
03:32They love you.
03:35Who's they?
03:36Uh, everyone.
03:38Everyone?
03:39Like, everyone.
03:41Everyone.
03:42Look, look.
03:42It's.
03:43Everyone.
03:45I mean, you know, my mom said this thing.
03:46I told you so is tacky, but I told you so.
03:50Breathtaking?
03:52Worth waiting for?
03:57Everyone loves me.
04:04You better be sitting in a dark room with the curtains drawn.
04:07I'm viral.
04:08I'm cat person.
04:10Viral.
04:11Me.
04:11I'm viral.
04:12Like a bad flu.
04:13Look, Lindy.
04:13I thought I'd been forgotten.
04:15Discarded.
04:16A has-been.
04:17But it turns out they were waiting for me patiently.
04:20And they still love me.
04:23Reality check.
04:24You didn't fucking write it.
04:25It's not about the story, but it's about my fans and that they love me.
04:30That they still love me.
04:31You're basking in make-believe glory.
04:32This is a ticking time bomb that is going to blow.
04:35Wait a minute.
04:36You.
04:37You told me that you were going to disarm the bomb.
04:40I tried.
04:41Okay.
04:42I.
04:42I.
04:42I.
04:42I flew Jackie out to New York.
04:44Was out negotiated by Hayseeds.
04:46Had sex with a cowboy in an elevator.
04:48Never got his name.
04:49Oh, my God.
04:50And.
04:52It was wonderful.
04:53It was wonderful.
04:54You need to find him.
04:55Oh, I have to find him.
04:57Hey, uh, Fifty Shades of Pain on the line.
04:58E.L.
04:59I'll be assistant.
05:00E.L.
05:00Lindy's nuts.
05:01It's chef's kiss.
05:03I can hear him.
05:04Lindy, listen to me.
05:07We have a chance to fix this.
05:08We still have plausible deniability.
05:10So just do nothing.
05:12I mean fucking nothing.
05:13Say nothing.
05:14Do you hear me?
05:15Yes.
05:16Do and say nothing.
05:21The, um, Today Show wants an interview.
05:25The Today Show.
05:26The Today Show.
05:28Wants me.
05:29The Today Show.
05:30Wants me.
05:33Wait.
05:36Wait, no, no.
05:37Look.
05:38On Zoom, you'll be regular size.
05:44Oh, I, I can't, I, okay.
05:49I, this is not, I can't really, I mean, I absolutely cannot.
05:54I, no, there's no way.
05:55I'm absolutely not doing The Today Show.
05:57I can't do The Today Show.
05:59Listen, I know, I know, I know you're scared.
06:00I know it's been a minute since you've been the toast of the literary town.
06:03Yes, but.
06:04But this is Jenna.
06:06Jenna?
06:07Pulitzer Prize winner.
06:09Lindy, Little John.
06:10Okay.
06:11The world, we waited long enough.
06:13This is your time.
06:16It's my time.
06:17Are you kidding?
06:18This is your time.
06:20It's my time.
06:22I.
06:23Just say it.
06:27Here's the thing, though.
06:28Oh.
06:29Mm-mm.
06:29Too much talking in the head.
06:33Bucket!
06:33We're gonna book it!
06:35Bucket!
06:35Ah!
06:37I'm gonna be on The Today Show!
06:39Today Show!
06:42Okay.
06:42Okay.
06:43Okay.
06:44Excited, excited.
06:45Wait.
06:45Bad news.
06:45The, um, the phone is out of battery.
06:47It's dead.
06:48Um.
06:49Why didn't you get that charger?
06:53Oh.
06:57Oh.
07:00Uh, just a thought.
07:01Don't kill the messenger.
07:02How about if you just-
07:04If you need to stay laptop, we're not getting the laptop.
07:06Na-na-na-no.
07:07We are gonna go get the charger, because the charger equals independence!
07:18You, you should have used the more sensitive trigger.
07:20We need to let it go, Richie.
07:22We're not going for the laptop.
07:23Les!
07:25We gotta hide it.
07:26Huh?
07:27The couch.
07:28Get up.
07:28Oh, wait for me!
07:29Wait for me!
07:31Get up!
07:32Les!
07:38Les!
07:40Les!
07:41Les!
07:41Oh!
07:41It's okay.
07:42It's okay, dear.
07:43It's me.
07:44It's mum.
07:45Oh!
07:46Oh!
07:47Are you-
07:47You're having a nervous breakdown?
07:50It-
07:52It's okay, as you are.
07:53I can call Lindy.
07:55What?
07:55What?
07:58You're in the wrong zone!
07:59What?
07:59You gotta be in the less zone.
08:01This-
08:01Do not walk outside the less zone.
08:03Les?
08:03Yes!
08:03Keep her-
08:04Keep her voice down.
08:05Let me check your shoes.
08:06Oh, God.
08:07Oh, good.
08:07Oh, good.
08:07She's not there.
08:09She's not there.
08:09Les.
08:10Les.
08:10Yeah?
08:11I am very worried about you.
08:13No, Mom.
08:13I'm fine.
08:14I'm fine.
08:14I'm okay.
08:15I'm good.
08:15I'm good.
08:15We-
08:16I'm just-
08:16I've been remodeling the house for Lindy.
08:19As a surprise.
08:20Oh.
08:21Yeah.
08:21Yeah, yeah.
08:22And I'm worried about you.
08:23Being up here, it's dangerous.
08:24So we should go-
08:25We should go downstairs.
08:26Come on, come on.
08:27Yeah.
08:27I think you are unwill.
08:29No, it's fine.
08:30It's the fumes.
08:31It's the fumes from the floor.
08:32That's the whole thing.
08:33What?
08:34All right.
08:35Okay.
08:35Okay.
08:35So we're on the move.
08:37And then we're gonna go downstairs in the less zone.
08:41No!
08:41You've got to stay.
08:41You must-
08:42Mom, you've got to stay in the less zone.
08:43Oh, in the less zone.
08:44Yeah.
08:44Okay.
08:45See?
08:45We're good.
08:46See?
08:46The less zone.
08:47That's it.
08:48Down we go.
08:48We're going down.
08:49Okay.
08:49We've got to move.
08:51Richard!
08:52Oh, yeah.
08:54You know, I, uh, I miss my mom.
09:01Yeah.
09:02Les, Les has a really good mom.
09:04You know?
09:05Nancy, uh, she shielded him from reality too much.
09:09And also from his dad, though, who was wow.
09:12But Nancy, no, she's, uh, yeah, she's a mom mom.
09:16Kind of always wished I had imagined.
09:20What would I be like if I did have?
09:25Well, I think I need a minute.
09:29Yeah.
09:30Yeah, we can.
09:31We can take a minute.
09:38Hey, Mom.
09:39So, you know, we agreed last night with a change of plans and Magoo's with Lindy and I'm working
09:45and Lulu's here at home, but she's in and out and she's doing her thing that, you know,
09:49you, you should, you should probably just, you should go home.
09:52Okay?
09:53Okay?
09:54Les.
09:54Yeah?
09:55I don't believe you.
09:56Which part?
09:57Every part, dear.
09:59I'm acting perfectly normal.
10:01The last minute remodeling.
10:03The fumes that I did not smell.
10:06The less zone.
10:08Lindy's disappearance.
10:09Lindy's disappearance?
10:10That's a little date line.
10:11The husband was the last one to see her.
10:12She's at the gray house, Mom.
10:15Okay?
10:16Other than that, I do not see my behavior as bizarre.
10:18I am working really hard.
10:20I am very stressed out.
10:22And I'm not sleeping very well.
10:24But I'm fine, Mom.
10:26I'm fine.
10:27Okay?
10:28You're fine.
10:28Sure, dear.
10:29When you're ready to talk, I'm right here.
10:33We talked and I'm good, but it is too dangerous for you here.
10:36Okay?
10:37I promise I will stay downstairs away from these fumes.
10:42But I am not leaving until I know you're okay.
10:45One last thing.
10:47When was the last time you showered, dear?
10:54Okay.
10:55Let's get that charger.
10:57Now you just have to scale the vertical surface using the floss like a rock climber would a rope.
11:02Just all the way up.
11:04I can't do one pull-up, Richie.
11:06But you have the power of the square cube law behind you.
11:10See?
11:11Why even pause?
11:12Just explain.
11:13All right.
11:14Simple math.
11:15As our size decreased, our proportional strength, that increased.
11:19It's like, um, ants.
11:21I fucking hate ants.
11:23Yes, but ant math is never wrong.
11:25Okay.
11:25Well, you're tiny too, so you do it.
11:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:28But this is your independence.
11:32Math is freedom.
11:33Freedom is independence.
11:34Go.
11:37All right.
11:40It's gonna...
11:42Yeah, it's not gonna...
11:44What are you doing?
11:45I'm conjuring my inner freedom math.
11:49This is exciting.
11:51Should we hide?
11:52Minutes.
11:53I'm walking through the foyer in the left zone.
11:55I'm leaving for the lab, but I'd still love to hear from you.
11:58Wait, wait.
12:01Now I've opened the front door.
12:03Martin?
12:03You never answered your phone.
12:04Martin?
12:06We're in the clear.
12:06He's never letting Martin in here.
12:08Yeah, but Mom.
12:08Mom, Mom, Mom.
12:09Mom is in the basement, and she's a rule follower.
12:11She'll stay there.
12:12It's Lulu.
12:13We don't have eyes on Lulu, so...
12:16Tick-tock.
12:17You gotta help me.
12:18Oh, yeah.
12:18I'm gonna help you.
12:43I'm gonna help you.
13:02Intense.
13:07I remember the moment I discovered my mother was a liar.
13:11Too intense.
13:13You're too intense.
13:15You.
13:16Me.
13:17Why?
13:20Roommate.
13:22Well...
13:23Sure.
13:23Stop.
13:24What?
13:25You suck.
13:26I mean, you probably suck more.
13:28Okay, so I was a dick.
13:29Sorry.
13:30You didn't insult me.
13:31Oh, you don't go to Forest Park?
13:33No, I do.
13:34I just don't give a fuck about what you think.
13:37Who's Wendy Pressick?
13:41Wendy?
13:42What?
13:43Yeah, she left a pretty hefty bar tab last night.
13:46She sounds like a good time.
13:48You both had whiskey sours.
13:50She paid for your tab, but then left her credit card.
13:54Huh.
13:55Okay, why don't you just fucking say it?
13:57Credit card fraud.
14:03So, what is this?
14:04Is this a shirtless citizen's arrest?
14:09No badge.
14:10Nowhere to pin it.
14:12I'm only asking.
14:13Only you asking?
14:15Only me.
14:16Good.
14:17It's a stupid question anyway.
14:29Okay, I'm gonna go.
14:31Well, happy reading, Wendy.
14:37You ran out saying someone could be dead.
14:39Yeah, Wendy's having a hard time.
14:41Is she sick?
14:42No, she's unwell.
14:44Oh.
14:44Look, I am happy to stay with Wendy.
14:47No, she's at the Greyhouse.
14:49But you rushed home.
14:50She left this morning because she's emotionally unwell.
14:54Oh, right.
14:54Yeah.
14:55Should she be alone?
14:56No, Gary and Meg are nearby.
14:58It's a lot, Martin.
14:59It's a lot to keep in my head.
15:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:01Quad for Les.
15:01Herbal tea for Martin.
15:03Bob?
15:06Oh, fuck.
15:07Another quad for Les.
15:12Is that Phil's?
15:13Bob?
15:30Go, go, go, go, go.
15:32Yeah!
15:38Keep going!
15:46Almost there.
15:51Yes!
15:52You did it!
15:53Woo!
15:55Oh, I love math!
15:57I know, right?
15:58It's like, it's never wrong.
16:00And the charger?
16:02On it!
16:05Oh, okay.
16:22Big smile.
16:23Ready, ready?
16:24And...
16:26Okay, all right.
16:27Ready?
16:28Ready, ready, ready?
16:29Three, two, one.
16:32Merry Christmas!
16:33It's a doll house.
16:35It's just like our house.
16:36Yeah, Daddy's been working on this for months.
16:38That was Mommy's idea.
16:40Well, I knew you liked the one Steffi had.
16:43This is way better than Steffi.
16:45And look, the lights work, see?
16:46Woo!
16:48Wait, wait, who do we have here?
16:49Me and you.
16:50Oh, where's Daddy?
16:52He's at work.
16:52Yeah, arguing with the mean people from Monsanto and the Organic Produce Alliance.
16:57Mommy's at home.
16:58Oh, yes, but Mommy is in her office working.
17:03No, but Mommy's watching TV.
17:07No, Mommy is at her desk writing.
17:11No, she's watching TV.
17:22I am the architect of my own prison.
17:25I am the architect of my own prison.
17:28Not anymore.
17:37Okay.
17:40You got this out.
17:47Ah!
17:48Ah!
17:48Lindy!
17:49You all right?
17:50Yeah!
18:07Oh, shit.
18:11I'm fine.
18:14Oh, shit.
18:16I'm fine.
18:22Grandma.
18:24Oh, you are a sight, dear.
18:28I'm hungover, Grandma.
18:29And I'm not the legal drinking age.
18:32Do you hate me?
18:33Never, dear. I appreciate your honesty.
18:36Don't lose that quality.
18:37Yeah, I think I was a little too honest last night.
18:40Well, booze will do that.
18:43I'm so glad you're here.
18:44I don't even know or care why.
18:47Crossed wires with your dad.
18:49Have you told him fuck science yet?
18:52Grandma!
18:53Your words.
18:54Or that you flunked out of college.
18:58Sounds worse when you say it.
18:59Is that not accurate?
19:02No, it's just...
19:05Fuck.
19:07What do you got there?
19:09Oh, Mom's book.
19:11Apparently I'm just like her.
19:13Well, I take that as a compliment.
19:16I don't think that's how she meant it.
19:17I think you'll be surprised.
19:31Morning, Bob.
19:34I didn't see you.
19:35But I saw you.
19:37Neals.
19:39Lattes.
19:40Plural.
19:41I can explain.
19:43Yes, you can.
19:44And you will.
19:45I know you can't help yourself, Bob.
19:48Technically speaking, I did not break the conditions stipulated in my NDA.
19:51I answer questions solely related to my brother-in-law and his experiences at MedBot.
19:56Then why are you so nervous, Bob?
19:59My brother-in-law alleges that once Hilton's company became the primary investor, they illegally acquired his tech.
20:05Illegally acquired?
20:08Per my attorney, I must qualify, allegedly, Hilton's legal chicanery is airtight.
20:13And I mean airtight.
20:15How did Hilton illegally acquire your brother-in-law's tech, Bob?
20:18Well, they closed drinks.
20:20I have my brother-in-law removed.
20:22Allegedly.
20:25Gentlemen.
20:26We don't see you.
20:27We need to talk.
20:28Me?
20:29Not you.
20:29That's you.
20:30It's important.
20:40Okay, but today's show, I need to make a new first impression tomorrow morning.
20:48What?
20:51Okay, for your information, I gave Jackie Baldwin extensive notes.
20:56No one would even care about the story if it didn't have my name on it.
21:00Les took everything from me.
21:01Look at me.
21:02I could be six inches tall forever.
21:05So I need this.
21:06I need this one thing.
21:07I tried.
21:08Okay?
21:09Writing is hard.
21:11And the pressure on his second book after winning the...
21:14It's paralyzing.
21:16I'm on my own.
21:21I need you to tell me it's okay.
21:25Please.
21:28Tell me.
21:30I'm independent.
21:32Tell me it's my turn.
21:35Tell me.
21:36It's mine.
21:38Me.
21:40Me.
21:41The Bordeaux.
21:43How's the second book coming?
21:46It's not.
21:47But it will.
21:48Do you remember how much Gary and I struggled when we were first starting the artisanal vitamin
21:52business?
21:53It was...
21:54Oh, like nine and a half months before we made a single sale?
21:57Nine and a half months before we made a single sale.
22:00Yeah, but look at this now.
22:01Barely able to keep up with demand.
22:03Yeah.
22:03And it is absolutely going to be the same for you.
22:06Same for you?
22:07No, it's not.
22:09It's not the same at all.
22:12It's absolutely not the same at all.
22:16How is little Lulu?
22:18Oh, how was her Christmas?
22:20Oh, we knocked it out of the park.
22:22We are best parents ever.
22:23Show them the pictures.
22:24Oh, yeah.
22:25You should see this dollhouse.
22:26Oh, there she is.
22:29What a sweetie.
22:32So, Les, what have you been working on these days?
22:34I mean, R.I.P.G.M.O.
22:36Tomato.
22:36Oh, yeah.
22:37R.I.P.G.M.O.
22:38Tomato.
22:39But it did bring you success, though.
22:40You know, it did bring you some success.
22:43Well, I do have a little germ of an idea, which I'm pretty excited about.
22:48You do?
22:50Yeah, it's early days, but I think I can say confidently that it does have the potential
22:54to change the world.
22:56It has the potential to change the world.
22:58I like the sound of that.
22:59I like the sound of that, too.
23:01But, honey, it's my turn.
23:03Remember?
23:05Well, actually, it's still my turn, sweetheart.
23:09I do remember.
23:10Sorry, we don't.
23:12What is the turn saying?
23:14Oh, well, we take turns supporting each other.
23:16So, he supported me through my first book, and I supported him through the first tomato,
23:20and now it's my turn again.
23:22He needs to support me for the second book.
23:24See?
23:24Turns.
23:24No, because your turn won you the Pulitzer, and my turn has yet to win me the Nobel.
23:31The Nobel.
23:32I mean, honey.
23:34I'm just joking.
23:36Honey.
23:36Not at all.
23:37I'm not at all smart.
23:38But the Nobel, that could be never.
23:41That's how turns work, right?
23:44That's...
23:44Your turn ended with the tomato that put you on the science map, but then went splat, followed
23:50by your imminent termination from Monsanto, followed by our housekeeper finding him naked,
23:55crying on the bed.
23:57Oh.
23:58Depression.
23:59It's a bitch.
24:00Mm.
24:01Yeah.
24:03Oh.
24:03You know what?
24:04Should we take a visit to the arch?
24:06Ooh.
24:07The arch.
24:08The arch.
24:09How dare you tell Gary and Meg about my naked crying?
24:13Huh?
24:14That wasn't me at my most vulnerable.
24:15That was a secret between us.
24:16How dare you tell them you're germ of an idea before me?
24:20Especially the one that's got me trapped in St. Louis, and it's your turn until you win
24:24the Nobel.
24:25That's new.
24:26Not everyone, Lindy, lucks into their prize on the first try.
24:29Luck?
24:30You know what I mean.
24:31I think I do.
24:35Point is, how can I trust you if you're going to expose me like that?
24:39Don't trust me then.
24:40Just don't tell me anything ever again.
24:42I won't.
24:42Good.
24:43Me too.
24:43Great.
24:44Secrets from now on.
24:44Secrets.
24:45Me and a secret.
24:46Love a secret.
24:49But it is my turn.
24:57My fucking turn.
24:58It's my turn.
24:59My turn.
24:59Stop.
25:00It's my fucking turn.
25:06It's my fucking turn.
25:09My fucking turn.
25:14I can't take any more bad cat news.
25:26So is this behavior normal?
25:27I don't know how to feel.
25:28You should feel good.
25:29Really?
25:30Mr. Magoo has diabetes.
25:33I stabilized his blood sugar and he's going to be fine.
25:35So the seizures have nothing to do with menstruization.
25:37Completely unrelated.
25:38So she's going to live.
25:40I mean, he.
25:40He.
25:41He's going to live.
25:41There is more good news.
25:43Look.
25:49That is a sample of Mr. Magoo's muscle tissue.
25:51The rapid expansion process might cause fragmentation in the atomic bonds, leaving them too fragile to hold.
26:00So we need to...
26:03We need to slow the reaction.
26:06To allow the nuclei time.
26:07To form stronger bonds.
26:09Stronger bonds are fundamental in the expansion of any fragile connection or alliance.
26:15Oh, I agree.
26:23We need a neutron moderator.
26:36We need a neutron moderator.
26:40Negative r.
26:43Divided by lambda.
26:45Let's see if I keep going.
26:47H hat equals negative h bar squared over two times the mass of the nucleus times the patient operator.
26:58And plus a V multiplied by R.
27:03Yes?
27:04Oh, God.
27:05God.
27:05This is what I've been missing.
27:09We should check them out.
27:21Mom is a good writer.
27:24Like, good.
27:25Well, she won an award, dear.
27:27I know, but I didn't know, no.
27:30Like, look, the book is really funny, but it's also deeply sad.
27:37Grandma, it's making me...
27:39There's just so much I'm connecting about Mom, Grandma Diane, me.
27:47It's like...
27:49I might need to rethink my thoughts.
27:52You're coming of age reading about your mom coming of age.
27:57That's deep, Grandma.
28:13Grandma, turn on channel five.
28:17We are talking to Pulitzer Prize winning author Lindy Littlejohn about her sensational new short story, Untitled, On Purpose.
28:24What?
28:25Lindy looks terrific.
28:27Lindy, could you possibly have expected the reaction to be anything like this?
28:31Oh, Jenna, I...
28:32Nothing about this experience is what I expected.
28:36The story is just so...
28:37Mom wrote something?
28:38I always knew she would.
28:40I couldn't put it down.
28:40Did you know you were writing something so provocative?
28:43You know, everything I write provokes someone.
28:46Right, Jenna?
28:47Very true.
28:48Yeah.
28:49You famously fictionalized your difficult relationship with your mother and My Rainbow Starts With Black, one of my all-time
28:56favorite books.
28:57Oh, thank you.
28:58I've got to ask you, did you base this story on your real life, too?
29:01So the book is true.
29:03You know, Jenna, I just think everyone does their best writing when they're not worried what other people think.
29:07That's the office.
29:09Upstairs.
29:10I thought she was at the Grey House.
29:13So did I.
29:14Lindy Littlejohn, thank you so much for being here.
29:16Oh, thank you, Jenna. It's been wonderful talking to you.
29:19Please turn the story into a book.
29:21I'll think about it. Okay, bye-bye.
29:28Ah!
29:30Ah! I killed it!
29:32Ah-ha!
29:34You have to write the book.
29:36Oh, my God, I feel like I have another chance.
29:38I could write something. I could write something great.
29:41You already have.
29:42Yes, Les supported me, but I wrote.
29:44I am a writer.
29:46Right?
29:47I'm here. I could support you.
29:49I feel like me again.
29:50Richie, this is...
29:52Ah!
29:53Like, where have I been, you know?
29:55Like, I've been here the whole time, and it's like I forgot.
29:58I forgot. I was right here.
30:03I'm a writer.
30:05Wait, are you crying?
30:07No.
30:09You're a little.
30:10Me, too.
30:13Ah!
30:13Whoo!
30:25Mom?
30:27Mom?
31:06By Jackie Baldwin?
31:09What the fuck?
31:32Are you here all night?
31:34Oh, shit, Lindy. Wait, what time is it?
31:37Oh, okay. So you're new. So everything's okay now?
31:41Yeah. Yeah. I admit, there's a little something between us, but nothing happened. We had a breakthrough.
31:46Oh, well, she looked great on the Today Show.
31:48Vivian?
31:50Lindy.
31:51Lindy?
31:52Vivian.
31:53Who's on what?
31:54Lindy was on the Today Show this morning.
31:58How did she... What did she look like?
32:01What? What?
32:02Watch!
32:26Lindy...
32:30Lindy...
32:36Ladee?
32:36Ladee?
32:39Ladee, where are you?
32:40Right here, Les!
32:43And I can take care of myself.
32:46Yeah, clearly, you're on the fucking Today Show.
32:49I'm worried sick, I'm working all night,
32:51and poof, you're writing again?
32:52You're a viral sensation, who knew, not me.
32:54Poof, I'm six inches tall.
32:56Who knew, not me.
32:58Ladee, keeping secrets was your idea.
33:01I think you're taking that to the extreme.
33:03I think you're taking that to the extreme.
33:05You're delusional.
33:06You're delusional.
33:08I can't lose you, Ladee, I can't lose you.
33:10No more traps, Les.
33:12Ladee?
33:13Is that you?
33:15Oh, shit.
33:17Mom!
33:18Dad?
33:21What's going on?
33:23Oh my god, Grandma.
33:24Is she dead?
33:26No, she just fainted.
33:27Quickly, run to the pharmacy, get some bromides.
33:29What the fuck are bromides?
33:31Google it!
33:32She's having one of her spells.
33:33Grandma has spells?
33:34Yes!
33:35She's old!
33:37Hurry up!
33:38Hurry, hurry, hurry!
33:41Mom!
33:45Okay, Mom.
33:46Oh!
33:47Here we go.
33:48Mom?
33:49Mom, it's okay.
33:51Hey, Mom?
33:52Hey?
33:54Mom?
33:56Hey.
33:57Hey, it's okay.
33:59You just fainted.
34:01Yeah.
34:02I saw, I saw her.
34:04Saw who, Mom?
34:05Lindy.
34:07She, she was so small.
34:09No!
34:10Yeah, Lindy's not here.
34:11Remember, Mom?
34:12I saw her.
34:13Like, like a little doll.
34:15She was, she was like a real life little Lindy doll.
34:18I think you mean one of Lulu's little dolls.
34:20No, no.
34:21No.
34:21I know what I saw.
34:23Yeah?
34:23I saw her on, on TV, too.
34:26No.
34:27Lulu?
34:27No, no.
34:28Lulu's not here either, Mom.
34:29Lulu's not here.
34:30I think you're a little confused.
34:31No, no.
34:31I'm not confused.
34:32Yeah.
34:33You're lying to me.
34:35I am your mother.
34:36Tell me the truth.
34:37Okay.
34:38Okay.
34:38Um.
34:39Come on.
34:40Come on.
34:40Sit down.
34:41Come on.
34:42What?
34:42Come on.
34:42Just sit, sit.
34:43So, um.
34:44Okay.
34:44So, um.
34:46Okay.
34:47So, this is, this is hard.
34:49What?
34:49This is hard.
34:50But the truth.
34:51Yeah?
34:53The truth is, um, that I put a painkiller in your tea.
34:59And hallucinations are a side effect.
35:01So, there is no tiny Lindy.
35:03What?
35:03Yeah.
35:04Why?
35:05When?
35:06Because of your back.
35:07Because I know it's been bothering you and I wanted you to relax.
35:10And, yeah.
35:11You drugged me?
35:13What kind of son drugs his own mother?
35:17Concerned son.
35:18No.
35:19No, no, no.
35:19You're not sorry.
35:21You are manipulating and controlling and a liar.
35:25You are without a doubt your father's son, which breaks my fucking heart.
35:30What?
35:30Oh.
35:31Whoa.
35:31What?
35:32I failed.
35:33I'm guilty.
35:34I tried.
35:36I tried to protect you from this.
35:37From what?
35:39From becoming your father.
35:41My f-
35:42Well, I'd say you overdid it.
35:44Huh.
35:45Because I was invisible.
35:46Huh?
35:47And I still am.
35:48Yeah, that's what fucking drives me and that's fine.
35:50But dad is a kind and fair-
35:53An asshole.
35:55Who keeps me on a tight leash.
35:57But, I have made my peace with that.
36:01And my marriage is not your marriage.
36:04Whatever you have done to Lindy.
36:06And I mean whatever you have done to her.
36:08She is not me.
36:10She needs to be off the leash.
36:12She needs to be free out of anyone's control.
36:15I don't know what you are hiding.
36:17But you are not remodeling.
36:19And if you are lying to me, I'd bet the farm you are lying to her and yourself.
36:24Mom.
36:25Mom, I love you.
36:26No, no.
36:27You love you.
36:29What is it your Dr. Carmichael says?
36:31Dig deep.
36:33If I were you, I'd start digging deeper than you've ever dug before.
36:36Find the truth.
36:38Keep on lying.
36:39Keep on burying.
36:40And you will lose her if you haven't already.
36:44She was going to leave me.
36:46It was an accident.
36:46No, there are no accidents.
36:50Isn't that a chapter in your doctor's book?
36:54Tell her.
36:55Tell her what you did.
36:57Tell Lindy everything.
37:00Because until you are honest, you are fucked, dear.
37:20And that's the complete and honest truth of it.
37:25And I love you, Lindy.
37:28And I need you, Lindy.
37:31And I miss you.
37:52Where's Grandma?
37:56Uh...
38:00She left.
38:03This isn't about Grandma, is it?
38:08Mom left you.
38:14She left us, didn't she?
38:24She left us, didn't she?
38:25I'm trying to hear you, and see you, and be honest with you, if you're ever going to forgive me.
38:31And the truth is...
38:34The truth is that I was scared.
38:36You were going to leave me, and I didn't want to lose you.
38:39And so, um...
38:43I miniaturized you.
38:46On purpose.
38:47I did it.
38:50And that's the complete and honest truth.
38:52I miniaturized you.
38:55On purpose.
38:56I did it.
38:58Miniaturized you.
38:59On purpose.
39:00I did it.
39:02Miniaturized you.
39:03On purpose.
39:04I did it.
39:05I did it.
39:06I did it.
39:06On purpose.
39:07I did it.
39:08Miniaturized you.
39:09On purpose.
39:09I did it.
39:11Miniaturized you.
39:11On purpose.
39:12I did it.
39:13I did it.
39:14I did it.
39:15On purpose.
39:15I did it.
39:16I did it.
39:17Miniaturized you.
39:18On purpose.
39:19I did it.
39:25I did it.
